This weekend has been largely about the Cub Scouts. Lincoln registration was Thursday and Friday afternoon and evening, and we had the dunk tank out to garner some attention. We had several parents sign up after they saw us. The lines were crazy, Lincoln needs to work on their process. But anyway, Beth and I and a few others manned the dunk tank (and you should have seen us getting that big heavy thing set up Wednesday night...woo...) for the entire time (several of the boys took turns in the tank near the end). I myself was in for a couple hours after work Thursday. Saturday we had CS planning picnic at Winona Lake Park. Only a few people showed up, and only one outside the core leadership group we had last year, but we did have some good talk about what to do next year. The big thing is a welcome picnic we're going to have as soon after the start of the school year as possible. I think we'll start up just after Labor Day. Date night was also Saturday...Beth and I went to dinner and saw "The Other Guys," which was funny but I thought inconsistent. And last week we agreed to take Alex to Gamestop to see if we could exchange our Madagascar Carts Wii game for a Mario Carts, not realizing that Mario Carts was $50 and we would get $4 for trading in the other game. So, we backed out of that to his chagrin, and bought both the kids much cheaper games.
